Operation:
After switch-on the main menu appears when pressing any key.

Use the cursor keys to change between the different menus.

Confirm any selection or entry with the ENTER key.

The actual menu quits automatically with the last confirmation. The next menu item is indicated
automatically after correct operation. If a modification routine is interrupted the next menu will not be
indicated.

Each function can be canceled with F2. Data which have been modified and confirmed with the
ENTER key will be kept.
Go back by pressing key F2 several times.

The key assignment within the menu functions is as follows:

F2 : F3 : CURSOR KEYS: ENTER :
Cancel Back Selection Confirmation and next

Data can be transmitted as often as required, even if another encoder is used.

Modified data are available, until the power supply is switched off.

A direct selection of the language is possible with the keys F1, F2 or F3. The respective key must be
pressed when switching on the power supply.

Notice:

With EPROG encoders the data verification may lead to an error message because of different
internal checks. Please read data again and check in „EDIT“ menu.

3.2 Read Menu

CE-Parallel CE-SSI CE-ISI CE-NSW LA-Parallel LA-SSI LA-ISI LA-NSW

The encoder data are normally saved in the encoder itself. In order to change them they have to be
transmitted to the PT100N. This procedure is done in the Read menu.

If no valid data are loaded, some of the following menu items cannot be activated.

Data which have been loaded are available until the power supply is switched off. It is possible to copy
data from one encoder to another encoder of the same design.

3.3 Edit Menu

CE-Parallel CE-SSI CE-ISI CE-NSW LA-Parallel LA-SSI LA-ISI LA-NSW

This central menu item has three further sub-menu items. Set the new encoder data here. Dependent
on the encoder connected, the following sub-menu items are available:

- EDIT ENCODER
Modification of all encoder-specific parameters

- EDIT CAMS
Modification of the cam parameters for cam switches

- EDIT TA-MINI
Modification of all TA-Mini-specific parameters

Use the cursor keys to select the corresponding sub-menu. The menu selected is indicated when
pressing the Enter key.

Within these menus the Enter key must be used to change to the next function. Go back to the
previous function with F3.

Selection is done with the cursor keys and confirmed with the Enter key.

Edit functions can be confirmed direct or, after a modification, must be completed with the Enter key.
An invalid value is corrected automatically by the PT100N. Confirm the valid value then with the Enter
key.

If an entry is canceled with F3, the previous function is indicated . Modified values of the canceled
function are not accepted.

When the Edit menus are canceled with F2 the complete editing becomes invalid, the data confirmed
so far, however, will be kept. To save the data after cancellation is not possible.

When the editing is proceeded continuously the next menu appears automatically after all data of the
current menu have been edited. The „SAVE“ menu on a higher level appears after the last submenu
has been edited.

3.3.1.3 Output mode

Two output modes are pre-defined for the encoder CE with synchronous-serial interface (SSI) and
can be selected with the cursor keys.

Select between :

- Left binding or
- Tree format

When left binding is selected the data transfer starts with the most significant bit according to the
number of data bits set later. There are no limitations with this setting.

When tree format is selected no gear can be realized as the data will be output symmetrically. This
requires later for the measuring length parameters the setting in power of two.

A detailed explanation of the tree format can be found in the appendix.

Notice:
In the tree format only power of two can be used for the number of revolutions and the number of
steps per revolution, where the first 12 bits are always for the number of revolutions. If not all of the 12
bits are required for the revolutions or the number of steps per revolution, the remaining bits are filled
with zeros, so that the position data always consist of at least 24 bits.

Output of the data in binary code.

Programming BCD :
Output of the data in BCD-code. The BCD code (Binary Coded Decimal) has a length of 4 bits to
represent one decimal figure (0-9). Therefore always 4 bits are required to transmit units, tens places,
hundred places etc..

Programming Gray :
Output of the data in Gray-code. With the natural Gray-code the change-over from the largest to the
smallest value (0000) is only one bit, e.g. for an encoder with 8 bit (256 steps) the largest value, in
binary notation, is 1000 0000 and the smallest value is 0000 0000. The change-over is one bit

Programming Gray-3-Excess" :
Output of the data in Gray Excess 3 code. This code is often used in arithmetic units which do not
calculate with the dual system but with the decimal system. Arithmetic operations, addition and
subtraction can be carried out with a minimum of logic operations.

Programming Shifted Gray:

Output of the data in shifted Gray code. For steps numbers which are not automatically power of two,
the change-over from the largest to the smallest value are several bits. In order to get a change-over
with one bit, the natural Gray-code will be limited.

Programming Shifted Gray-3-Excess:

Output of the data in shifted Gray Excess 3 Code. This code is used for step numbers which are not
within the decimal range but where the advantage of the Gray-Excess-3-Code shall be used.
* If data output is programmed with the 2^0 edge, binary-code and BCD-code are allowed only.
** Excess codes are allowed only if the origin is programmed with zero or origin is set to zero because
of this selection.

3.3.1.5 Transmit repetition

For SSI encoders (with the option transmit repetition) there is the possibility of a multiple data transfer
by continued transmission of the clock pulse. In order to activate this option it must be selected from
the menu.

Select between:

- SSI with repetition or

- SSI without repetition.

If SSI with repetition is selected, the SSI data are repeated after 26 clock pulses.
A break of more than 25 !s interrupts the repetition mode. Actual data are transmitted with the next
request which then can be repeated as well.

If SSI without repetition is selected, zero bits are output after the last data bit (special bit).

Notice:
It merely seems that a data transfer with repetition increases the data integrity. As disturbances may
occur not only for data but also for clocking lines during the SSI transmission, there is the possibility
that the pulse will be disturbed already after the first pulse transmission. This causes the output of an
additional data bit.
As the following packet of data depends in time from the previous one (in case of transmission with
repetition), it is deferred too. The most unfavorable case is that two identical but disturbed packets of
data are transmitted.

Changing between the output logic, that means between high active or low active is possible for
encoders CE with parallel interface.

Select between:

- 0V == LOW high-active switching logic

- 0V == HIGH low-active switching logic

For certain applications an inverted output of the data can be necessary. This is called negative or
positive logic. Whether the encoder outputs the data accordingly is defined with this selection.

parallel interface and the option "Bus compatible".

Select between:

- Always active Data outputs are always active

- if Bus = low Data are available when bus input is low
- if Bus = high Data are available when bus input is high

To transmit the position of several encoders with parallel interface in the multiplex operation via
common data lines, the outputs of the users not inquired must be high-impedance. The data outputs
of the inquired user must be activated only. To operate an encoder with this option without an
additional wiring the bus function is switched off with „Always active ".

3.3.1.8 Data valid

For encoders with parallel interface there are several possibilities to synchronize the data
acceptance.

Select between:

- Continue Data are continuously active

- Latch = low Data "frozen in ", when Latch input is low
- Latch = high Data "frozen in ", when Latch input is high
- Dyn. Strobe * The encoder sends a strobe signal
- LSB-edge * Data are synchronous to the edges of the LSB
(2^0 edge)

Programming "Continue":
New data are constantly transmitted to the output. The user must ensure that the data are valid. E.g.
asynchronous read-out: The customer electronics reads out the output value (e.g.) three times. Two
values must be identical, one value is rejected.

Programming "Latch = low" :

The output data are „frozen in“ via the Latch input (=0). The user electronic reads one static value
without edge transition.

Programming" Latch = high" :

The output data are „frozen in“ via the Latch input (=1). The user electronic reads one static value
without edge transition.

Programming "Dyn. Strobe" :

The encoder transmits a special signal (dyn. strobe). The signal indicates when the output data can be
read out or not. The strobe is defined in the sub-menu item "outputs".

Programming "LSB edge ( 2^0 edge)" :

Siemens-specification: With this method the read-out is synchronized with the positive and negative
edge of the 20 bit. The 20 bit changes for multistep codes (binary code) with each modification of
another bit. When changing the 20 track the data word is read out after a short delay. Wrong values
(pseudo tetrads) are not possible. If this function is active, 20 bit changes approx. 5 to 10 times from
low to high.
As 20 bit does not change when switching on the power supply while the shaft stops (either "H" or
"L"), valid source data before moving the encoder shaft would not be possible. Therefore the 20 bit
has to change four times (high, low, high, low) after switch-on of the encoder.

3.3.1.10 Count direction

In addition to the partly available hardware change-over the count direction can be changed for all
encoders by programming the encoder.

For CE encoders select between:

- clockwise with view to the flange and the shaft

- counterclockwise with view to the flange and the shaft

For LA encoders select between:

- increasing to the end

- decreasing to the end

Notice:
For encoders with option "External forward/backward" the programmed count direction is inverted.

Clockwise means that the values become larger,

counterclockwise means that the values become smaller.

3.3.1.11 Offset

Start of the counting can be shifted optional, except for cam switch with 18 cams.

Select between:

- No no offset
- Symmetrical with sign symmetrical offset
- Free Offset with free value possible.

If positive data are to be output by the encoder only, starting with zero, "no offset" has to be
programmed. Start with zero after an overflow.

"Symmetrical offset" is a special case of "Free offset". The programmable gear is divided in two and
arranged at the right and left of the central line. After a positive overflow counting continuous in the
negative range and vice versa.

If the programmable gear must be asymmetrical in the maximum possible range, "Free offset" is set.
The origin can be defined for any point in the area.

According to the transmit code there are the following limitations:

3.3.1.12 Preset function

All encoders, if option "External preset" is available, can be set to a defined position value by an input
signal. If this function is not installed or will not be used, it must be switched off in order to avoid
malfunctions or maloperation.

Select between:

- not in use Preset function is switched off

- rising edge Preset function is active

With active preset function the encoder is programmed with a new position, after the external input
changed from low to high and an internal time control expired. This process lasts some time as the
complete position parameters must be recalculated and stored in a memory which is safe from data
loss.
If the input is reset during the time control, the preset request is rejected.

For best adaptation of the encoder to the application condition the binary position data can be
converted already in the encoder.

Select between:

- Gear any conversion

- Unlimited conversion in power of two

Notice:
The total capacity (Steps / length) of the encoder consists of the steps per revolution (0-360°) and the
number of revolutions. For angular measurements within 360° one turn is needed = Singleturn. For
displacement measurements 2-4096 (power of two) or 1-126976 (optional) revolutions = Multiturn are
required depending on the distance.

3.3.1.14 Revolutions / length

A programmable gear is defined in "Steps / length " and "revolutions". The number of revolutions is
defined by the mechanics. The number of the total steps results from the desired resolution or the
representation mode of the distance.

An editing function is concerned here, that means a numerical value is entered here.

If the parameter „gear“ was previously selected for „programmable gear ", two kinds of possible
entries appear here. Non-integer revolution ratios are perhaps required for a gear. Therefore the
revolutions are entered as fraction. The numerator is entered first and then the denominator of the
fraction.

Wrong entries can be corrected with the key CE. Use F3 to go back in single steps. When the value is
entered correctly, confirm with the Enter key.

If "Gear" was selected, a number between 1 and 126976 can be entered. If the "Programmable gear
in revolutions" is programmed as fracture, the nominator must not be larger than 126976.

When "Unlimited" was selected a number in power of two between 2 and 4096 can be entered. Other
values are rounded off to the next lower power of two.

In most of the applications the "Revolutions" are programmed in power of two. If e.g. 410 revolutions
are required, the next higher power of two 512 must be programmed.

For certain applications, e.g. rotary tables, tool changer etc. encoder systems for integer values are
needed.

Notice:
For freely selectable encoder systems the encoder must not be turned further than 512 revolutions
maximum while it is in dead condition. Turning more than 512 revolutions may cause a lost of the
adjustment value (preset value). Therefore it is recommended to program the next higher power of two
than the calculated number of revolutions for distance measurement.

3.3.1.15 Steps / length

The measuring length is the complete distance to be sensed.

This value is entered here via the numerical keys.
Wrong entries can be corrected with the key CE. Use F3 to go back in single steps. When the value is
entered correctly, confirm with the Enter key.

The minimum measuring length is 16.

The maximum measuring length depends on the resolution of the encoder.

e.g. 4096 steps per revol. x 4096 revol..: max. meas. length = 16777216.
1024 steps per revol. x 4096 revol. : max. meas. length = 4194304

The following formula applies for the scaling parameters for an encoder:

Steps per length

Steps/revolutions = -------------------------------------------------------
Number of revolutions per length

For the distance mode "Gear" the "Number of revolutions per length" is programmed as fraction!

The following formula applies for the scaling parameters for a LA encoder:

Measuring length rod [mm]

Measuring length [steps] = ------------------------------------
Resolution [mm]

The resolution of the rod is set by the Steps / length. The measuring length/S results from the
measuring length indicated on the rod and the desired resolution.

Example:
Measuring length rod [mm] = 500, resolution = 0,01mm, measuring length [steps] = 50 000
Measuring length rod [mm] = 500, resolution = 0,1mm, measuring length [steps] = 5000

Note:
With the LA-NSW the displayed measuring length in steps is without meaning. The scaling is effected
with the correction value see chapter "Correction value", page 44.

To avoid exceeding of this frequency the corresponding value can be entered in kilohertz here. The
maximum possible value is 125 kHz

Press the enter key if the value indicated is correct.

Wrong entries can be corrected with the key CE. Use F3 to go back in single steps. When the value is

3.3.1.24 Correction value

Adaptation of linear position sensing systems with older design, installed in the actual system, is
possible with a correction value.

Enter the encoder-specific value when this menu appears.

This value is a fractional number which is smaller than zero. An integer number is however entered,
which is written as an index.

For example:

Correction value= 0.080045, enter: (EXP-6) 80045 equal 80045 * 10-6

The correction value is determined and programmed by TR Electronic. This value differs for each
linear transducer with older design. This value is the reference between distance and indicated steps.

In order to change the resolution of the rod the correction value must be reprogrammed accordingly.

e.g.: 0.876543 equal 1/100 mm

0.087654 equal 1/10 mm
0.008765 equal 1 mm

Notice:
A 1 as correction value must not be changed.

For linear position sensing systems with soft-no. 50xx.xx the correction value is irrelevant and cannot
be entered.

With the LA-NSW the scaling is effected further with the correction value. The correction value may be
max. six digits.

It corresponds:
0.999 999 = Resolution 0.01 mm
0.100 000 = Resolution 0.1 mm

3.10 EPROG DIALOG (Version 2.1a and above)

The new generation of encoders offers a much wider range of functions than previous models.

In this context, you should consider the PT100's usability as a subset of the options provided by the
EPROG PC program.

If the EPROG PC program switches a Version 001 encoder (refer to the rating plate) to PT100-
compatible mode, the extended functions are no longer available.

PT100 programming is also no longer available if you chose the complete range of functions.

In this case, the PT100N cannot connect to the encoder; up to now, programming was not possible in
this way.

The new EPROG-DIALOG menu item makes it possible to switch to this option: this was previously
only possible using the PC.

This means that a PT100N of Version 2.1a and above can switch an EPROG encoder that was not
programmed by a PT100N to PT100-compatible mode.

Important!

When you choose this menu item, the current setting of the encoder is shown. You can only choose
interfaces that are actually fitted on the device.

If, for example, you choose an encoder that only has an SSI interface fitted as a parallel device, the
corrected setting No is shown on the display.

If you confirm this setting, PT100-compatible mode is switched off, i.e. data cannot be ready any
longer. In this case, you must choose the EPROG-DIALOG again and set the option that matches the
interface.

When switching operating modes, data may be changed. In any case, you should carry out complete
reprogramming.

In the case of devices with several interfaces, it is possible to make several settings. This means that
you can individually set every interface.

However, all the installed interfaces have a common effect on the switching outputs, i.e. they influence
one another. In this case, it is advisable not to use switching outputs.

You can choose from the following:

- SSI Synchronous serial interface with repetition

- Parallel Parallel interface with bus function
- ISI Incremental serial interface
- 18 cams 18 cams
- 29 cams 29 cams

4.2 Synchronous serial interface SSI

In the resting condition the signal Data+ is on "High". With the first falling edge of the timing pulse the
transmitter stores the current measurement. Data transfer is effected with the raising edge, beginning
with the MSB (max. 32 cycles possible). After the last lowest significant data bit is transmitted, the
data bit will be switched to "Low" or "0", until the encoder is ready for a new measurement. By
interchanging the + and - cycles two different pulse formats are obtained
(see diagram 1).

Monoflop time tM is set to 20 µs and determines the lowest transmission frequency of approx. 50 kHz.
The upper limit frequency is determined by the sum of the time control and is approx. 1,1 MHz.

4.3 SSI output treeformat

To transmit synchronous serial data with a certain structure, there is the possibility to use the tree
format. The data bits are arranged consecutively (see diagram 2). 12 bits exactly, which contain the
number of revolutions, are on the left side of the center line, at least 13 bits are on the right side,
containing the steps per revolution. If less then 12 bits are required for the number of revolutions, the
signal is filled with leading zeros until the required length of 12 bits is reached. If not all 13 bits are
required for the steps per revolution, zeros are added to achieve the required length.
Up to eight special bits, freely programmable via the PT100N, can be added to these 25 data bits (six
special bits for encoders with the programming possibility "with repetition"). In the case that zeros
must be added for steps/revolution, please consider, that these zeros are generated by special bits
and therefore not all eight (or six) special bits are available.

4.4 SSI transmit format left binding

Synchronous serial data without tree format consist of at least 16 Bit and eight (six for encoders with
the programming possibility -with repetition) freely programmable special bits. It is possible to shift
these data within the 32 cycles. The data can be transmitted right- or left justified, with or without
leading zeros. Leading zeros are generated by programming the number of positions bits larger than
required by the encoder. The eight (or six) special bits, which can be programmed by the user with
different options, are added to the position bits.

Glossary

A
Absolute encoder Optical rotary position sensing system. The delivered measured value
is the complete analogue or digital position. If the encoder is
moved mechanically while the encoder is switched off, the current
position can be read out immediately after switching on the power
supply.

B
Bus Common transmission channel to which all users are connected;
has two defined ends.

C
CE Absolute encoder, programmable with the programming terminal
PT100N or with the programming software "EPROG".

Code Method to generate digital numbers. A code word is a bit pattern,

which indicates a numerical value. The code describes the allocation
of code words and their values.

(2) complement Representation mode for negative binary numbers. In the two's
complement representation a positive number is marked by a 0 in the
most significant place and a negative number is marked by a 1.

D
Data interface Encoder with parallel or synchronous serial interface; the data
(referred to this operating manual) are transmitted in a certain code

Dynamical strobe The encoder supplies a special signal (dyn. strobe). The signal
indicates, when the output data can be read out or not.

E
"EPROG" PC-Parameterization software for programmable CE or LA encoders.

H
HEX-Dump Memory dump (Hexadecimal format)

I
ISI Incremental serial interface for absolute encoders.
Position changes are transmitted by two incremental tracks.

Interface Interface; connection for data transfer

L
Latch The output data can be "frozen in" via the latch function. The user's
electronics reads a statical value without edge transitions.

LA encoder Linear absolute encoder for linear measurement.

LSB Least Significant Bit

Linear position sensing Acquisition of linear movements; LA encoder

system

Limit switch Switch output which is set after a certain condition is fulfilled
(programmable).

M
Monoflop Mono-stable multivibrator; a trigger pulse at the input generates
a single pulse at the output. The duration of the output signal does
not depend on the input pulse.

MSB Most Significant Bit

MLD Internal designation for encoders which cannot be programmed with

the "EPROG" software. Programming is possible with the
programming terminal PT 100 N only. (Encoders without version no.
V001)

Multiturn Encoder which does not only resolve the number/revolutions, but can
also acquire multiple revolutions.

Multiplex operation Operation of several encoders. Position transfer via common data
lines (see also bus).

N
NSW Cam switch

O
Out of range The magnet is at the top of the rod, out of measuring range;
for LA encoders only

OLD Encoders which be programmed with the "EPROG" software.

(Encoders with version no. V001)

P
Position bits Digitized angular positions or distances, available as code word at
the outputs (see also code).

Preset The output data of the encoder are set to the programmed value
when activating this input (adjustment between mechanics and
electronics).

Parity Simple procedure to recognize data transfer errors.

Pseudotetrade Invalid bit pattern of a code.

R
RAM Random-Access-Memory

ROM Read-Only-Memory

Resolution Measuring accuracy of the encoder.

CE-encoder: [number of steps per revolution]
LA-encoder: [mm]

S
SSI Synchronous serial interface for absolute encoders.

Singleturn Rotary encoder, which resolves the number of steps/revolution only.

T
Tree format Data transfer format for a synchronous serial interface (see also
chapter "SSI Output tree format ")

TA-MINI 6 or 8 digit seven segment display, to indicate the actual positions of

the encoder.

Teach In The current actual value of the encoder is programmed directly as

cam switch point.
